Now we’re ready to answer questions, no matter how tricky, with well-researched information from our Advising Veterinarian and Companion Animal Nutritionist, Katy Miller, DVM.

We’re not veterinarians. Mud Bay staff are well educated, and our writing is well-researched, but neither the advice of a Mud Bay staff member nor reading Mud Bay’s written materials can substitute for visiting a veterinarian. We offer carefully chosen, natural solutions, but we believe that veterinary conditions should be diagnosed and treated by professionals.
